Psychic Advice

My five Koi fish were so happy today when I got the waterfall pump running with the help of a friend.  So was I.  I had lost one big one and though I would lost more.  The waterfall in my pond is so relaxing.  I was so glad to hear the sound again after it had been off for such a long cold winter.  Friends can be such great help.

I am always surprised at what people know when you really get in to talking to them.  Glen who helped me with the pond has knowledge that is way beyond me in the math department.  A great memory also.  He had the pond amounts of water calculated in his head so fast I didn’t know what hit me.  Had to go buy a new pump and that’s what started his calculations.  Hurrah for mathmaticians.  I am good at some kinds of math but sure couldn’t do what he did. 

Once the water fall was running I knew much of the winter yard clean up would be easy from here.  My goal this summer is to grow better grass than my friend Glen.  He is so good at his yard would love to be able to do better.  Guess we will see what happens as the summer goes on.  His wife really works well with him also.  She just knows when to step in and help.  I sit there lost until I am asked for help.

I have done well running the pond for two years but when the pump went out this time I was lost.  It wasn’t old enough to go out yet.  Didn’t want to buy a new one again.  Ended up buying what I think is much better than the one I had.  Some times the learning comes with time and does cost.  I always fight the cost instead of rolling with it.  Lesson again roll with what it is going to cost because it is always worth it.  Sticking to a budget isn’t always the best thing to do.  Whole different subject.

Friend came to visit last evening whom I hadn’t seen for about a year.  She brought her poodle peaches.  Jonesy, Gunny and Peaches ran and ran and ran.  Then Jonesy cried, whimpered looking for Peaches for a couple of hours when they were gone.  I felt so bad for him but didn’t know what to do but cuddle him.  Told him Peaches would be back.  Which he will.

Overall it was what I wanted a good relaxing weekend.
